But Athena had no mind to let the brazen suitors
hold back now from their heart-rending insults –
she meant to make the anguish cut still deeper
into the core of Laertes’ son Odysseus.
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 18, lines 391-394. Athena wants to increase Odysseus’ anger against the suitors as much as possible, because she wants to get him ready to fight his enemies and kill them. After this passage she inspires Eurymachus to mock Odysseus yet another time. The lines in this passage are also repeated in Book 20.
